How to get selected option with beautifulsoup and Python?-CodePudding

I'm trying to get the data from a combobox using beautifulsoup, but when using my code I get the following error:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

DATA:

<select name="sexo" style="width: 140px; display: none;" id="sexo"  tabindex="0" aria-disabled="false">
<option selected="" value="">[SELECCIONAR]</option>
<option value="M" selected="">Masculino</option>  <<<<SELECTED ITEM
<option value="F">Femenino</option>
</select>

My code:

sexo = BeautifulSoup(login_request.text, 'lxml').find('input', {'name': 'sexo'}).get('value')
print(sexo)

How can i get only the selected value?

CodePudding user response：

The element you want to search for is select, not input. And if you want the selected value, you have to search within that for the option with the selected attribute.

You can combine these into a single call using a selector.

sexo = BeautifulSoup(login_request.text, 'lxml').select('select[name=sexo] option[selected]')[0].value

This probably isn't going to be very useful, since the selected value is the empty value that goes with the [SELECCIONAR] prompt. You're not getting anything that a user has selected.
